The kernel arguments should go into the operating system configuration
file. There’s a field “kernel-arguments”, which is just a list of
strings.
Here’s an example:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(operating-system
…
(kernel-arguments
'("iomem=relaxed" ; Needed for using flashrom
"zswap.enabled=1" ; compressed RAM cache for swap devices
"vm.swappiness=100" ; NOTE: only use this with zswap!
))
…)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Oh, this is still about booting the USB image? The comment above is
about how to add extra arguments once you’ve already installed GuixSD.
